1. Understandable.
2. Absolutely stupid. How does this affect player safety? And if it really affect player safety that much, why not just prohibit Defensive players to line up over center during normal situations as well?
3. ...Meh... did this really need changing?
4. I like this rule change.
5. Run off ten seconds? Are you serious? Isn't that sort of penalizing the offense for a ref's screw up?
6. So no more forcing incompletions? What the heck?
7. I guess....
8. Only the playoffs? Would it not be better to do it during the regular season as well to, you know, give players a season to actually get acclimated with the rule change?
9. Meh.... -

Well that's what's been happening the last few years. They're just saying they plan to emphasize it even more. It's just another example of the rules (or rather the rule interpretations) favoring the offense, specifically passing offense. That's why I 'm so glad we added Marshall. Teams with true #1 WRs are given a huge advantage on every offensive play. It's foolish not to try and make your team one of those that is receiving the advantage.texanphinatic, gafinfan, Silverphin and 2 others like this. -
did anyone notice that rules 4,5,6, and possibly others happened to us during the season?! (this is if i am remembering correctly) 4...I remember Bess dropping a ball after he called for the fair catch and it was a turnover in one of the earlier games...5. the saints game before the half on the goal line catch play...and 6. Hartline during the titans game.

Actually rule 10 is Tom Brady can now call his own penalties so he doesn't have to conference with the refs first, as conferencing suggests the golden boy may not be right. :tongue2:

Number 1 I really think is a great idea !
I always cringe when a running back keeps churning the legs after helmet loss. But what happens on 3rd and 4th down? If they need 9 yards im gonna pop the helmet off after 5 (which would create head hunting). Im sure they have roughness penalties but is that enough? Im sure im over thinking here I hope. Whats the thoughts can this be exploited? -

FasanoPaisono, your scenario would only be relevant to a fair catch call. When a returner calls fair catch they have every right to the ball (exclusively) until it touches the ground, so if the kicking team caught a muffed fair catch it wouldn't be a great play.
